public financing

The New Hampshire Coalition for Public Funding of Elections has announced the appointments of commissioners who will serve on a commission to study the possibility of public financing for state elections.

The commission, Public Funding of Elections Commission, was established by the state legislature to study the feasibility of public financing of elections and must issue a report by December 1, 2008.

Telecom immunity. Public financing. Faith-based initiatives. NAFTA. Just words?

Yesterday, the "Granny D bill" passed the New Hampshire State Senate by a voice vote.

The bill would establish a commission to study the feasibility of public financing for state elections.

Secretary of State Bill Gardner, House Speaker Terri Norelli and Senate President Sylvia Larsen would appoint commission members.

Gov. John Lynch is expected to sign the bill.
